"Can you guys please help me in some research?"

Would anyone be interested (no commitments here) in buying high power PCs mail order. I know most of you don't buy ready made PCs but I'm interested in setting up a small company selling PCs mail order and locally (I live in Manchester). I've made PCs before so I know what I'm doing and being a big gamer I'm pretty sure I know what most of you guys want, and even if I don't you can always tell me. I pretty much just need the experience of building PCs and running a business so prices should be pretty low and you'll be saving yourself the hassle of building your own.

If you reckon I could make a go of something like this, I'll set up some prices on the net and you can tell me your opinions.

Thanx Very Much

Buy a copy of the MicroMart computer magazine thats the best way to check out the prices of the competition.

That does sound rather expensive. I do know a great place to get gubbins, but E-mail me as I don't want to advertise on SR. [email protected]

alright, thanks for the info, can u tell me where's the cheapest place to get stuff (processors etc.) on the net?

Thanx for ur help

Andi

Yeah, I just got a much better system than that from SR for only £200 more than your asking price. Half the memory, but twice the HD space, and a GeForce 3 card. You won't sell many!

But the rest seems pretty good. It's a lot of money though for selling over the internet

That sounds pretty expensive for the specs- for over 2 grand you really should be looking at 1.4Gz+ and a top of the range graphics card i.e. a Guillemot 64mb GeForce 3.

Alright guys, the setup for the first model available will be something like this:

Middl Tower Case
AMD K7 Athlon 1.2 GHz
Asus A7V 133 Motherboard
512MB 133MHz RAM
40Gb IBM Hard Drive
Sound Blaster Live! Player 5.1
Creative DTT 2200 3D Surround Sound Speaks + Sub
Guillemot 64mb GeForce 2 MX Graphics
Diamond 56e Modem
Creative DVD (12x)
DeCoder card
Creative CD-RW (32/12/10)
17" Monitor
MS Intellimouse
Keyboard

This will include all the cooling gear, 300W PSU etc. for £2,150.

Thanx For Your Opinions
